Darius Miller dropped 20 points with one assist, one block and four triples in 33 minutes vs. the Wizards on Friday.

Anthony Davis (ankle) sat this one out and no one else was hitting shots, so Miller stepped up. He does have some low-end appeal when Davis is on the shelf, but coach Alvin Gentry was optimistic that AD would be back on Sunday. For that reason, Miller is only worth monitoring unless we get bad news. Mar 9 - 10:59 PM

Darius Miller scored nine points with one rebound, three assists, one block and one 3-pointer in 29 minutes against the Kings on Wednesday.

If Anthony Davis (ankle) is going to miss time, Miller could be looking at a few extra minutes. On the other hand, he's left a lot to be desired on the stat sheet over his last five, averaging 4.8 points, 2.0 boards, 2.2 assists and 1.2 treys. He's only a speculative add in very deep leagues for now. Mar 8 - 12:55 AM

Darius Miller went scoreless with just one assist and one steal in 23 minutes on Sunday, but the Pelicans still won their eighth consecutive game.

Miller fills his role admirably as a 3-and-D bench option, but it's not a role conducive to reliable fantasy value. Nevertheless, he's been an integral part of the Pelicans' recent success -- they've scored 118+ points in a franchise-best eight straight games, all of which have been victories. Mar 4 - 10:01 PM

Darius Miller hit 6-of-8 shots with four 3-pointers en route to 19 points on Wednesday, adding four assists and three rebounds in 31 minutes.

Pelicans tied their franchise record with 139 points tonight, powered by a huge game from Anthony Davis (42 points) and a big lift from the second unit. New Orleans ranks 29th in bench scoring, ahead of only the Wolves, but games like this could become more common if Nikola Mirotic is deployed as a reserve. When he's not torching the Lakers defense, though, Miller is just a fringe 3-point specialist. Feb 15 - 12:12 AM

DeMarcus Cousins underwent successful surgery to repair his torn left Achilles on Wednesday and he will miss the remainder of the 2017-18 season.

The Pelicans haven't yet released a firm timetable on Boogie, but generally speaking, these sort of injuries take 6-10 months to recover from so in a worst-case scenario he might not be ready for the start of the 2018-19 season. Unfortunately, Achilles injuries can be career altering ordeals, and Cousins' size could complicate the issue. He'll be a risky guy to draft next season.

Alexis Ajinca had surgery on his right patellar tendon on Wednesday and is expected to miss 4-6 months.

Ajinca had bilateral knee injections on Oct. 20 with an initial timetable of 4-6 weeks, but obviously that wasn't enough to correct the issue. Hopefully the veteran center can get healthy and back on the court next season. The Pelicans owe him a guaranteed $5.3 million in the final year of his contract in 2018-19.
